*Tour of ICM*

Matt gave us a quick tour of the Innovation Centre and the not a Hackerspace
Hackspace http://www.icmp.org.uk/ which is being setup. The tour was
broadcast live on Ustream and watched by two KLUGGERS unable to attend.

*OpenVPN*

Paul gave a talk on OpenVPN www.openvpn.net and did a demo of how to connect
to a remote server from XP or Linux. Notes on how he sets up OpenVPN can be
found here. http://indie-it.com/wiki/index.php/OpenVPN

Because we had a reliable and fast internet connection we streamed the
meeting live on Ustream. Recordings of the meeting are here.

Next time I will see if the webcam can be configured to broadcast a clearer
image. Live viewers (we had 8 at one point) said the audio was very clear
which is good.

Thanks to everyone who attended or watched Live it was a great meeting.

KLUG now has £45.30 in its donation pot so I suggest we give £25 to a FLOSS
project.
